Wheeler Farm

We made a trip to Wheeler Farm today, the Monkey loved it.  We followed him around, he just explored, I tried to get some photos of him doing it.  I took some Reece's Pieces along to help keep the happiness going...Daddy enjoyed the treat for walking around.  It was fun to see him see the animals, he neighed with the horse.   My Grandpa, along with Matthew's Grandpa would be proud.  It was Brooklyn's nap time, so she was a little grumpy, I snapped a few of her unhappiness, they didn't turn out as well as Matthew's 

Matthew is a Mickelsen! Squinty eyes! If we smile big enough and you'll miss our eyes. He does is to well. All of his facial expressions are so great! He was so ready to have me go away. 

The baby animals were so cute, so fun with Easter just around the corner. 

SICK!!

I was driving to the gym tonight talking to Smash, when I look over and see this older man in a mini van with car seats in the back. Guess what he does? did you guess this...he winks and blows me a kiss! SICK!!!! Really? I'm sure my face was priceless. It was so great that he did it again. Gross!  That is no way to win me over.  I know that there are plenty of boys that read my blog. Please take note that I probably will not respond to you if you blow me a kiss and wink at me if there are car seats in the back of your mini van.  Please don't take offense...

Viva Las Vegas

I went to Vegas last weekend with some of my girlfriends.  We had lots of fun, we stayed at the Luxor, walked the strip, layed out by the pool, went to a really great outdoor mall, and went on some of the roller coasters.  We did the New York, and then the ones on the Stratosphere. Meg and Vonda did all three, I just did two.  I think that they were called Insanity and  Xtreme.  Insanity was insane. Its the only ride I think that I've ever almost peed my pants cause it made me so nervous.  I think that everyone we rode with enjoyed watching me more then the ride.  

Farm Weekend

My cousin blessed her sweet little girl this weekend, Emayln Nadine.  She is one month younger then Brooklyn.  I took advantage of the opportunity to take photo's of the girls.  We enjoyed watching them play together.  At one point they did hold hands.  We think that the girls were excited to see each other,  this was there first meeting on earth. 

LIttle Monkeys

Ashley is going to kill me for putting this on, but it brings me such joy.  It's a good pic of Smash, but it's an even better one of the monkey.  Reason number 2 for Joy, Steph has a pic from last Christmas that is very similar.  Matthew and Steph's face's are very similar.  When I showed Smash the pic after I took we both laughed and remembered the pic from last Christmas.  I would put it on but I really don't know how Steph would feel, I will write her and see what she says and if its a yes, then I will allow everyone else the Joy that comes to my face when I see these pictures. 

I am venturing more into the photography world, so here is a little shoot that Matthew and I had last night.  He just sat on my lap and posed for the camera, he never does this...and by this I mean sit on my lap.  He probably only did for like five minutes. Here are some of my favorites. 

He got into Grandma's purse and got her badge.  He wouldn't give it back....

Shells Bells!

A friend asked if I could take some pictures of her, I of course accepted. I really need the practice.   I only took 17 pictures because that it what I had left on the roll of film.  With only 17 pictures taken I hoped that would get a couple good ones she could use. That is one thing that makes me nervous as a photographer with little experience.  Producing something that the client likes.  I guess that is why they pick you though, because the like your work.  Shells could have picked several of them, it really turned out to be a good shoot.  These are my favorites.  Thanks for letting me practice Shells! 

A night of Fun!

How to start...last night I went dancing with my friends.  We decided to hip hop during one of the slow songs. We walk in and start dancing.  This guy looks at my friend and gets this huge smile, and turns back around.  Meg looks at me and just smiles.  I just laugh and keep dancing.  We back to country swing and one of my crushes from the gym comes in.   This kid was one of the ones to get us signed up...a good sells men I guess! His good looks probably helped him ge the sale just a little....So I watch him for a minute, it turns out he is friends with the Warrior.  When I first saw this kid at the gym,  I knew I had seen him somewhere. I just couldn't put my finger on it until last night.  Lets go back a few months, to Halloween.  I went dancing the Thursday before Halloween, amongst those that were dressed up was a young man dressed up as Troy.  You could tell that he had been fake baking, he was only wearing a neck piece and a skirt of sorts.  It was very funny!  I must admit that when I say him, I just laughed and said "Really!"  My thoughts then turned to what kind of attention are you looking for?  I did tell a few more people about this boy who had dressed up as Troy for halloween, cause I thought it was silly.  If you haven't made the connection yet, the boy from the gym and the boy dressed up as Troy are the same!!  As soon as I saw him talking to the warrior I knew exactly who he was, and how I knew him. I didn't waste anytime, I went and asked him to dance.  He isn't the best dancer, but he is fun to dance with.  The rest of the night was exciting. We hip hopped a couple more time and each time someone joined us.  Meg says "Guess our hip hop skills have improved if others want to dance with us."  I'm not sure mine have improved, but it was fun.  Every time I go dancing I often think about what I will do when I won't be able to go dancing anymore.   I'm sure that it'll be just fine, and I'll find something that I love just as much.  I have to remind that the time hasn't come and I can keep enjoying it and cross that bridge when I get to it.
